Oh boy,Look out for the weekend..A Snowcane is coming

Fellow ABN members this kind of says it all look at the outflow on the right flank going clockwise east. Look at the inflow of low level moisture coming in from the south east and south west. http://www.goes.noaa.gov/HURRLOOPS/huwvloop.html This storm has a well developed eye and will be a hurricane in less then 24 hours. Once it crosses Cuba a SMALL BUMP IN THE ROAD it is going to the gas station in the Eastern Caribbean where the water temps are still in the 80s to get refueled and believe me it wont be regular it will be high test jet fuel.After it fills up look out as the central pressure falls and the eye wall shrinks just like a figure skater going into her spin and a full Category 2 Hurricane will be born.

Ill post some of my top secret sources I also use in looking at the potential paths and what kind of nasty weather to expect. Here is a good link shows the storm going thorough genesis The upper level troposphere field is enormous indicative of a well developed core. To most of you this will seem like a Jimmy Hendrix song playing with a black light to me all the pretty colors have meaning as they are temperatures at different levels in the atmosphere which tell a story on how strong and how fast a storm will develop. All of the ingredients are coming together to make this storm a memorable one for this time of year. http://www.star.nesdis.noaa.gov/smcd/opdb/aviation/loops/realtime/hurrir_loope.html.

This Satellite picture from the University of Wisconsin. Again it shows the enormity of the upper level outflow it is larger then the Eastern United States.

In this link the pinwheeling storm in the North West Canadian prairies is the snow storm for the mountains on the back side of the hurricane/tropical storm Sandy.

Here is a good one from Colorado State. In this one you can see the hurricane is pretty much moving due North. http://rammb.cira.colostate.edu/ramsdis/online/loop_640.asp?product=goes-east_16km_psir4
